Iran: 14 Prisoners Transferred to Solitary Confinement In Preparation of Execution

Iran Human Rights (Oct 1, 2018): At least 14 prisoners, most of whom were sentenced to death on murder charges, were transferred to the solitary confinement of Rajai Shahr Prison.

According to a close source, on Sunday, September 30, at least 14 prisoners were transferred to the solitary confinement. The prisoners, most of whom were sentenced to death on murder charges, will be executed if they fail to gain the consent of the plaintiffs.

Three of the prisoners were identified as Ali Irandoust, Mehdi Danesh, and Mahmoud Qorbani, all from ward 1.

Executions take usually place on Wednesdays at Rajai Shahr Prison.

It should be noted that most reported executions on murder charges have been carried out at Rajai Shahr Prison this year.
